THE INNOCENT BOX is a board game designed for children between the ages of 3 and 9, to be played in the company of an adult and which allows the topic of child sexual abuse to be addressed in a ludic and sweet way for everyone. Children will learn, among other things, to know their bodies, to acquire skills to protect themselves, and to react to different situations.
Child sexual abuse is considered to affect approximately 2 out of every 5 children in different European and American countries. This is what is known.
But how many more will remain silent and suffer ?
With the disastrous consequences on the growth of the little ones and the traumas they carry with them into adulthood ?
It is therefore of urgent importance to prevent it. By teaching children from the earliest possible age to become aware of their bodies and to protect themselves against abusive behaviour.

Throughout the game an adult will accompany the child. Letting him follow the instructions that he will have to follow.
Transcure in 3 stages:
1 The child will have to take the dolls and place green stickers on the parts that can be touched and orange stickers on the forbidden parts.
2 The child will be confronted with different situations illustrated with vignettes where he will have to say if the situation is correct or not and what to do when it is not.
3 The child will share his mood and feelings and can choose to take the card "I am HAPPY" or the card "I have a SECRET".
During the game, a climate of trust will gradually develop between the participants and questions or anecdotes will arise. The adults will always have information to give to the child. But the most important thing is that both participants let their feelings flow.

Sussan and Edgar, parents of two boys aged 3 and 7, were alerted by the various situations of child sexual abuse that have occurred and continue to occur in their environment, both in schools and in the private sphere of families. They became aware of the taboo surrounding this subject, which is rarely or never discussed, and of the embarrassment it arouses. As parents, they wanted to take action, feeling responsible for the healthy growth and safety of their children and the protection of all others.
"How can I help all these victims ? What can I do to stop this from happening again ?"
One day, Sussan couldn't stop thinking about a case of abuse that had occurred and said to herself:
"I have to help ! I have to do something !"
That night, halfway between a dream and a nightmare, the idea for "THE INNOCENT BOX" came to her. The next day, she spoke to Edgar about it and, together, they began to develop this little box, with the intention of helping children and adults to tackle this subject in a way that is ludic and gentle for everyone.
